Keywords:	Employment Development
Issue Date:	2004
Publisher:	OECD
Description:	The papers brought together in this volume were first presented at the conference “Evaluating Local Economic and Employment Development”, held in Vienna in November 2002. This conference was organised by the OECD’s Local Economic and Employment Development (LEED) Programme, with financial and logistical support from the European Commission (DG Employment) and Austria’s Ministry of Economic Affairs and Labour. The holding of the conference was motivated by the widespread perception that there is a deficit in many OECD member countries with respect to the volume and quality of evaluative research on policies and programmes used to enhance local development. Why, for instance, is the evaluation literature on local development so relatively thin? Is this a result of inadequate public commitment to and practice of evaluation in this field, or perhaps a symptom of conceptual and methodological difficulties particular to local development? These and other issues were explored in the conference papers and discussions.
